For over 60 years the Canadian Islamic Centre/Al Rashid Mosque has been serving
the Muslim community of Edmonton and northern Alberta. It is located in north
Edmonton on 113th Street just south of 132nd Avenue. The original Al Rashid
Mosque was located in downtown Edmonton for over 40 years but due to the growth
of the Muslim community and increasing demand for services, a larger facility was
needed. The original mosque was preserved and relocated to Fort Edmonton Park
taking its rightful place in Edmonton's history and in the cultural heritage of
North America.
